Lantern slides are the slides that predated 35mm slides. In short, they are
120 (6x6) slides sandwiched between two pieces of glass. The older
projectors were long metal things with a nice black wrinkled paint finish. I
had a medical entomology class from an old geezer at Tulane University who
had nothing but lantern slides for his lecture. Great pictures, like a
mosquito control truck towing a chemical spraying device (and the truck
looked like something Bonnie and Clyde rode in).

I found, in my late mother's photographic paraphernalia, an old package of
Kodak "Velox Transparent Water Color Stamps." These are designed to be
used, like watercolor paint, on Velox paper "(Velvet surface preferred)".
What is Velox?
They can also be used to color "lantern slides." What are lantern slides?
I consider colorizing classic motion pictures to be blasphemy, and this
sounds like the same sort of venture. However, since I do watercolor
painting, this might warrant some experimentation.
